Glofitamab, sold under the brand name Columvi, is a bispecific monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of large B-cell lymphoma. [10] It is a bispecific CD20-directed CD3 T-cell engager developed by Roche. [7]

Contents

The most common side effects include cytokine release syndrome, muscle and bone pain, rash, and tiredness. [11]

It was approved for medical use in Canada in July 2023, [2] [12] in the United States in June 2023, [13] [14] and in the European Union in July 2023. [8] [15]

Medical uses

Glofitamab is indicated for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. [7] [13] Specifically it is indicated for the treatment of adults with certain types of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or large B-cell lymphoma who have received at least two prior treatments that did not work or are no longer working. [11]

Adverse effects

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) label includes a boxed warning for serious or fatal cytokine release syndrome. [13]

History

The FDA approved glofitamab based on evidence from a clinical trial NP30179 (NCT03075696) of 145 participants with large B-cell lymphoma who received at least one dose of glofitamab. [11] The efficacy of glofitamab was assessed in 132 participants with de novo diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (80%) or large B-cell lymphoma arising from follicular lymphoma (20%), who have received at least two prior lines of therapy and who received at least one dose of glofitamab. [11] The trial was conducted at 32 sites in 13 of countries in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Taiwan, and the United States. [11] The benefit and side effects of glofitamab were also evaluated in the clinical trial. [11] All participants received glofitamab until the disease progressed or the side effects became too toxic. [11]

Society and culture

In April 2023, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a conditional marketing authorization for the medicinal product Columvi, intended for the treatment of diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma (DLBCL). [16] The applicant for this medicinal product is Roche Registration GmbH. [16] Glofitamab was approved for medical use in the European Union in July 2023. [8]

Names

Glofitamab is the international nonproprietary name. [17]

Blinatumomab, sold under the brand name Blincyto, and known informally as blina, is a biopharmaceutical medication used as a second-line treatment for Philadelphia chromosome-negative relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It belongs to a class of constructed monoclonal antibodies, bi-specific T-cell engagers (BiTEs), that exert action selectively and direct the human immune system to act against tumor cells. Blinatumomab specifically targets the CD19 antigen present on B cells. In December 2014, it was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration under the accelerated approval program; marketing authorization depended on the outcome of clinical trials that were ongoing at the time of approval. Blinatumomab is given via intravenous infusion.

Brentuximab vedotin, sold under the brand name Adcetris, is an antibody-drug conjugate medication used to treat relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a type of T cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It selectively targets tumor cells expressing the CD30 antigen, a defining marker of Hodgkin lymphoma and ALCL. The drug is being jointly marketed by Millennium Pharmaceuticals outside the US and by Seagen in the US.

Seagen Inc. is an American biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative, empowered monoclonal antibody-based therapies for the treatment of cancer. The company, headquartered in Bothell, Washington, is the industry leader in antibody-drug conjugates or ADCs, a technology designed to harness the targeting ability of monoclonal antibodies to deliver cell-killing agents directly to cancer cells. Antibody-drug conjugates are intended to spare non-targeted cells and thus reduce many of the toxic effects of traditional chemotherapy, while potentially enhancing antitumor activity.

Polatuzumab vedotin, sold under the brand name Polivy, is a CD79b-directed antibody-drug conjugate medication used for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (cancer). It was developed by the Genentech subsidiary of Roche.

Axicabtagene ciloleucel, sold under the brand name Yescarta, is a medication used for the treatment for large B-cell lymphoma that has failed conventional treatment. T cells are removed from a person with lymphoma and genetically engineered to produce a specific T-cell receptor. The resulting chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-Ts) that react to the cancer are then given back to the person to populate the bone marrow. Axicabtagene treatment carries a risk for cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurological toxicities.

Selinexor sold under the brand name Xpovio among others, is a selective inhibitor of nuclear export used as an anti-cancer medication. It works by blocking the action of exportin 1 and thus blocking the transport of several proteins involved in cancer-cell growth from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm, which ultimately arrests the cell cycle and leads to apoptosis. It is the first drug with this mechanism of action.
